Transcript

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: What's up?

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Company's coming.

CAPTAIN HUGH PAULSON: Captain Hugh Paulsen, attached to the Third Fleet, with orders from Regional Command.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Welcome aboard, Captain. They must be important orders, indeed, for you to have personally carried them so far.

CAPTAIN HUGH PAULSON: All Confederation orders are important, Captain. The Lexington is to head immediately to the Masa system, where we will rendezvous with the Third Fleet.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: I'll inform my helm. You will be filling me in on Confed's orders.

CAPTAIN HUGH PAULSON: Oh, we have much to discuss -- in private, Captain.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Perhaps we'd better adjourn to my cabin.
